Slavery in the United States

Many people are surprised to know that human trafficking occurs within the United States. However, human trafficking exists in every state and affects both US citizens and foreign nationals. Demand for commercial sex generates the supply of women, girls and boys for sexual exploitation. Veiled supply chains protect labor traffickers from revealing the source of their illegitimate labor and victims of labor trafficking are forced to work without any pay on farms and in industries that maximize their profits unethically. Additionally, the victims of domestic sex trafficking are most often US citizens. Traffickers use the freedoms espoused by the United States to enslave the victims they exploit.
